Workers of the European honeybee (Apis mellifera, family Apidae) were foraging on the flowers of tall goldenrod (Solidago canadensis var. scabra, family Asteraceae), while a comrade was trapped on the nearby orb-web of a female golden silk spider (Nephila clavata, family Nephilidae). Bee careful! Early-November 2009 in Japan.

セイタカアワダチソウの花でミツバチが盛んに採餌していました。虫の集まる所には捕食者あり。茎の下の方で一匹のジョロウグモ♀が網を店開きしていて、案の定ミツバチを捕­食中でした。毒針でも身を守れなかったようです。撮影後に獲物を失敬して後翅の翅脈を調べたところ、セイヨウミツバチであると確認できました。
